preference data cannot be loaded and Fatal Error

jrexburn · Post by **jrexburn** » Tue Aug 01, 2006 4:40 am

I've downloaded MediaCoder 0.5.0. Full Edition, unzipped and installed. I let it install defaults but when I run it I get 'Preference data cannot be loaded'. I tried complete uninstall and boot and reinstall, same message.

Then I did complete uninstall and downloaded MediaCoder 0.5.0 Audio Edition. I unzipped and installed and tried to run, but I get 'Fatal Error'.

I am running AMD Athlon, 1 Gig Mem, Evga Nvidia 6200 LE with 256 MB on Windows 98SE.

Would love to get this working, looks so cool.

I had the same trouble when I installed mediacoder.
My machine is completely different from yours, but i also use the Windows SE. Maybe the problem comes from windows.
I´d like to see a solution too.

I have had no problems installing and using MediaCoder on several WinXP machines.
Maybe Win98 just doesn't work and is it time to update to a more recent version of windows (it is afterall 8 years old!)

I have the same Problem under W2K to

I think an update to XP is out of the Question, since I don´t have that much money. And I dont think that a Price of more than 100€ are OK for the MediaCoder

Till then,

MediaCoder should be able to run on Win2k. Are you using the latest release?

This is the same problem I found before.

It gave this same message on winME.

maybe there is something it is relying on that is in XP, that everyone takes for granted
